Enhanced Wired Equivalent Privacy for IEEE 802.11 Wireless LANs

The Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is defined as part of the IEEE 802.11 standard to provide secure communication over a wireless channel. However, it suffers serious security flaws, such as the vulnerability of RC4 to keystream reuse and the misuse of CRC checksum in ensuring data integrity. In this paper, we design, implement, and evaluate a software (middleware) approach, which runs on top o...

Exposing the Wired Equivalent Privacy Protocol Weaknesses in Wireless Networks

This article highlights a number of security issues within wireless networks. Signal leakage for instance, means that network communications can be picked up outside the physical boundaries of the building in which they are being operated, meaning that a hacker can operate from the street outside or discretely from blocks away. In addition to signal leakage, the Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) p...

Cyber-Physical Systems Security and Privacy

4 Digital Object Identifier 10.1109/MDAT.2017.2713356 Date of current version: 30 June 2017.  The focus of this issue of IEEE Design&Test is on cyber–physical systems security and privacy. Research in cyber–physical systems (CPS) has enjoyed a large increase over the past years. The same holds for security and privacy. Hence, combining both in a special issue is very appealing. And indeed this...

Reactivity-equivalent Physical Transformation Model for Pin Cell Arrays

The behavior of TRISO fuel used in high temperature gas reactors in order to achieve high fuel performance is difficult to model using traditional lattice codes due to the double-heterogeneity effect created by the multi-coated fuel kernels in a graphite matrix. A simple volume-weighted homogenization does not accurately reduce the problem to one degree of heterogeneity as it does not properly ...
